What you need to know about Jackson Hole's current economy

The Jackson Hole economy is not headed in the same direction as the state
of Wyoming’s economy. While much of Wyoming is dependent on the energy
sector and is struggling as a result of the decline in that sector
Jackson’s economy, which is largely dependent on tourism, is benefiting
from the lower energy prices as it decreases the cost for people to travel
to the National Parks and the surrounding areas.
Over the past year the Teton County’s sales tax revenue has increased by
4.1%. At the same time the Wyoming economy has had a decrease in sales tax
revenue of 21.3%. Furthermore, Jackson businesses can look forward to a
busy summer with bookings for lodging up 13% over the last year while the
State of Wyoming economy looks dire with the continued decline in the
energy sector, specifically in the coal sector.
What this means for Jackson Hole investors and Business People:
- Make hay while the sun shines. Business is good during boom times.
- The cost to do business in Jackson will go up while the cost to do
business in many other parts of the state should go down. Employees in
Jackson will demand higher wages and rents will go up for both commercial
and residential real estate.
- Diversify. No economy is continually the best performer. Consider ways
to decrease your exposure to any one economy.

economy mean for you.
